Awesome! Convenient! more convenient I was able to make an appointment at 3:30 AM. I did not have to call the office. I didn’t have to call I like it much more than having to call I often put off scheduling advisor appointments; but with starfish I found it easy I can use it at any time of the day fast and easy. I know what time is available to set an appointment. It made it easy
you can see appointments and know right away if a time slot is taken or not. I could visually see advisor’s schedule • I liked how I could specify what it is that I needed to see her about so that when I got to the meeting, she had a lot of the information ready to go which made the meeting go much more quickly and smoothly. Overall I enjoy using it. optimize my appointment time
